#7 William Antony Parker Jr. (2001- present, Career Points- 18,911)

San Antonio Spurs v Memphis Grizzlies - Game Four
Tony Parker

Tony Parker was born in Belgium but is of French descent. He has represented France in all major FIBA competitions since 2001. He played in the French league for two years before appearing for the draft in 2001. He was picked up by San Antonio Spurs who had the 28th pick and has been their starting point guard for the next sixteen seasons winning four NBA championships.

He was the Finals MVP in 2007, a six-time NBA All-star and arguably the most distinguished European player along with Dirk Nowitzki. He is the only player on this list who is not an American. He has scored a career total of 18,911 points and is still going strong after moving to a bench role for the Spurs scoring 8.1 Points Per Game and 3.8 Assists Per Game.

Tony Parker, over the years, has always been consistent for the Spurs. He has put forward unbelievable displays with his trickery, spin moves and fakes when driving to the basket. He has not been the most effective perimeter shooter. His best scoring performance came in 2007 against the Timberwolves, where he led Spurs to a victory scoring 55 points that game.

After being absorbed by the Spurs in 2001, he ended up forming a super team with Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan. The recruitment of Kawhi Leonard furthered their chances of winning a championship and they beat the heavily favored Miami Heat in the 2014 Finals. He has been the wall and face of the franchise and will be difficult to replace on retirement.
